ALTA’s Interpreting Services

Our network of professional certified interpreters come with deep subject matter expertise and years of experience. We offer the following interpretation services for our clients:

Consecutive interpreting – Used in small group settings or one-to-one meetings (e.g. depositions) to facilitate communication between two languages.

Simultaneous interpreting – Generally used for large meetings or conferences where two or more languages are spoken. Our trained interpreters sit in an isolated booth and listen to the main speaker through a headset, while simultaneously interpreting to audience members via a wireless headset. This style of interpreting is also referred to as U.N. style interpretation. ALTA provides certified and/or trained simultaneous interpreters complete with the necessary equipment.

We offer on-site interpreter services in the following industries:

Medical Interpreting: Our medical interpreting team works in hospitals and doctors’ offices to facilitate doctor-patient interactions.

We also have a broader team that can help in any number of common business situations, such as accompanying non-English-speaking guests at meetings or on-site tours. If you are planning a conference and need full-scale simultaneous interpretation using booths and headsets, we provide equipment and full setup.

Over-The-Phone Interpreting (OPI) – With more than 200 languages, our over-the-phone interpretation programs rank high in client satisfaction. Whether you need a telephonic interpreter for a medical appointment, legal hearing or a simple international business call, we offer multiple ways to connect to an interpreter in less than one minute, on average. OPI clients have the ability to create a personalized account for an on-going service, , or can connect to an over-the-phone interpreter on an as-needed basis. All of our phone interpreters undergo a vigorous training and credentialing process, assuring we can meet your language needs, if on-site professional interpreting services are not feasible.

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) – ALTA also offers American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services via video remote interpreting. This monthly program enables those who are hard of hearing to mobilize their experience with an ever-present video interpreter. Our VRI service allows you to connect to an interpreter anywhere, at any time.

Conference Interpreting – ALTA’s experience in conference interpreting solutions allows us to identify prospect’s unique needs, and deliver high-quality interpretation services. If you are hosting a small event with VIPs, or planning a large-scale event with multiple languages, we are prepared with linguists specializing in your industry nationwide. Our interpreter’s skillsets reach far beyond what is typically requested, as our linguists thoroughly prepare for not only the type of conference interpreting required, but also hone specialized terms that may be exclusive to your company.

Professional Certified Interpreters

ALTA interpreters are certified by nationally recognized organizations (NAJIT, ATA, CCIA or ITI), or have been tested by ALTA for language proficiency, interpreting skills, and the standards for ethical conduct. Our goal is to facilitate communication with excellence and professionalism, while taking every practical step to protect the privacy of all parties involved.

We ensure ongoing compliance by internally evaluating our adherence to the ISO system, all the while being regularly audited by a third-party registrar. With our outstanding attention to each interpretation project and exceptional customer service, ALTA has passed the certification inspection the first time through, with no corrective action required. It is this level of quality we are very proud to offer you in all our services.
